General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground

[funkster]

Scott is reporting on his site that Louis Rainone contacted him and called him "fake news" and "the CNN of this stuff".

Also his sources are telling him that Cataudella is the real heir apparent to DeLaurentis.

Anyone ever seen a picture of Cataudella besides the one where he's behind a car?

Thought I'd seen some more recent pics on reddit a few years back. Would have to dig. Interesting that he got ahold of him.

Kind of a tangent here, but I ran across this again and had forgotten about it so I'll ask: Did any researcher ever figure out what the hell "So long, Vampire. So long, Lefty." was supposed to mean?

Great pic. Don't think I ever saw this one.

I must be getting old, I didnt realize Cataudella was 70.

FWIW, Scott's sources are telling him that Paul Carparelli has been forgiven by Outfit higher-ups for his past zany antics because he stood up and has since mellowed out a bit as they wanted from him, and he wants to take a leadership position in Cicero. He's not even made, is he? Unless he's one of those rumored Sarno inductees or something.

Personally I hope this is true just for the potential entertainment value. “I think the guys wants his legs broke.”

He always struck me as a lifer, who would do whatever was needed to get back in good with the higher ups. If Mario Rainone can hang around the cicero crew without getting killed, I'm sure Paul Carparelli is fine. As he said himself in that wiretap...."I've done this my whole life, I don't want to do anything else". (Paraphrasing). I think it is plausible he was made, but who knows. He had a small crew around him when he was busted.

On a somewhat related note, exciting to see all the more recent era outfit talk on here. I love talking/reading history, but the small nuggets of what information we have concerning today's organization is far more interesting to me. It's funny how a decade ago you would hear..."Once Difronzo/ Lombardo/Marcello are gone, the outfit as we knew it is basically dead." Fast forward to today and we know many names that we did not ten years ago. The outfit is a shell of it what it was, but it's alive and functioning for sure.

With all the chatter surrounding Jimmy I's death and what it means for the organization, it makes me wonder if this means any changes for Al Vena. Scott has been silent on that front I believe.

How does Scott know all this?

Jimmy Inendino passed away

Have you talked to your Cicero source at all after all of this? Anything you can share?

Presumably he’s hearing this from a source or sources who are talking to him. Now, whether the source/s may be wrong or have their own agenda for conveying specific info to Scott — when they know he will report it to the public — those are question I’m not in the position to answer.

Not really, just curious if he's mentioned anything recently or seen the recent articles about Inendino/Rainone/Cicero from Scott? Is he aware of any changes due to Inendino passing?

[Antiliar]

He's seen Scott's articles and likes them. He didn't really have much to say about Jimmy I before he died. I can tell you with everything happening I am more hesitant to put any of his info out here. His safety is more important than his information.

If Scott's source is accurate and Paulie's toned it down a notch to keep the octogenarians happy I just hope this doesn't include dropping the "sadistic Don Rickles" routine, that shit was gold.
